Stuart Wilson/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Actor Channing Tatum, who had audiences swooning when he appeared as a stripper in the 2012 film Magic Mike, has been named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2012.

The actor joins the select club of Hollywood heartthrobs who have taken the title since the magazine first began bestowing it in 1985.

Actor Bradley Cooper, who appeared in The Hangover, received the honor last year. Other previous Sexiest Men include Mel Gibson, Nick Nolte, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Pierce Brosnan, Johnny Depp and Richard Gere.

Tatum, 32, hails from Alabama. He reportedly loves giving massages to his wife, actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and wants to start a family.

“I’m ready; I think she’s ready,” he tells People in the issue that hits newsstands Friday. “The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we’ll see where we go after that.”

“It’s really easy for us guys to say, ‘I want like 15 kids,’” he continues. “Jenna will be like, ‘Well you better get another wife!’”

The special issue also names worthy celebrity men in several other categories, including Men of the Year; Chill Guys; Sexy at Every Age -- which recognizes stars in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s; 50 Shades of Grey (which names salt-and-pepper-haired heartthrobs); and Hot Dogs, which lists Hollywood’s dog lovers.

Game show host Wayne Brady and Drive star Ryan Gosling are among the Hot Dogs, while newlywed Justin Timberlake and Taken 2 actor Liam Neeson are on the Chill Guys list.

Former President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama, CNN host Anderson Cooper and Skyfall bad guy Javier Bardem are on the 50 Shades of Grey list.

Stuart Wilson/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Channing Tatum will be crowned People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” next week, Gossip Cop has revealed. If true, he’s set to topple Bradley Cooper, who currently holds the title.

The star of Magic Mike will be given the honor when the magazine publishes its annual “Sexiest Man” list on Nov. 14. The actor has been featured on the list before but has never topped it.

A rep for People told Gossip Cop, “We never comment on who the Sexiest Man Alive is until the issue is revealed.”

A rep for Tatum was contacted by the gossip-site, but has made no comment so far.

People(LOS ANGELES) -- It’s official: Jessica Simpson will be the new spokeswoman for Weight Watchers.

The singer made the announcement on Twitter Wednesday: “So excited to be a part of the @WeightWatchers family!”

The new mother is adding to her coffers with a reported $4 million deal from Weight Watchers to lose the baby weight.

Weight Watchers said in a statement, “We’re thrilled that Jessica Simpson has chosen to join Weight Watchers to adopt a healthier lifestyle and inspire others to do the same.”

Simpson just released her first photographs with daughter Maxwell Drew in the latest issue of People magazine.

She told the magazine that giving birth to her first child May 1 has changed her life forever.

“When I look at her my heart melts,” Simpson, the pop star-turned-fashion designer, said in an interview appearing in the June issue of People magazine. “I didn’t realize how much love I could have.”

Maxwell, known as “Max” or “Maxi,” arrived two weeks early, by C-section. She weighed 9 pounds, 13 ounces.

“As one of the nurses exclaimed when Max was born, ‘She’s a chunk,’” People magazine’s Suzanne Zuckerman told Good Morning America. “But she is a beautiful baby."

“There was a wonderful family bond that was instantaneous,” Zuckerman said. “As Max was being born, Eric was holding both Jessica’s hand and the baby’s hand so there was that sort of continuous bond from the moment she arrived.”

Maxwell has Simpson up every few hours for feedings and diaper changes, even though her father, former NFL player Eric Johnson, is a very hands-on dad.

“He has found his calling,” Simpson said of her fiancé. “Maxwell’s definitely going to be a daddy’s girl.”

Maxwell “is my career at the moment. I know I was always meant to be a mom …,” Simpson, 31, told People.

“She says that she’s never before kept to such a schedule in her life,” Zuckerman said. “What’s also remarkable is this confidence that’s just bubbling over with Jessica. When it comes to being a mom, she fully admits she’s doing a fantastic job.”

During the revealing interview, Simpson, who was criticized for gaining too much weight during her pregnancy, also discussed her plans for losing weight.

“Jessica actually planned to work with Weight Watchers even before she knew she was expecting but she is committing to that program as soon as its healthy for her to do so,” People’s Zuckerman told GMA.

“It would be nice to feel comfortable in a bikini, but that’s not my goal,” Simpson says in People. “I just want to fit into jeans.”

She said she’s putting off exercising until she fully recovers from the surgery, but laughingly admitted she had broken one rule. “I think I have the sexiest man in the world. So that’s the rule I break.”

She also acknowledged that she’s eager to get back to her pre-baby weight.

“After you have your baby, it’s like, ‘Oh my God, what happened to my body?’ This is not me,’” she said.

The singer has big plans for her wedding to Johnson, and says she wants to feel “really great in a wedding dress.”

Simpson will launch a new maternity clothing line that will be the 24th line in the Jessica Simpson Collection. The singer is well on her way to earning $1 billion by year’s end just from her fashion empire alone.

“She’d love to have more kids although she very openly says she wants to devote her full time and attention to Max right now, so no immediate plans,” Zuckerman said.

Kristian Dowling/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Beyonce has an enviable career, a loving husband, an adorable baby daughter and, now, the coveted title of World's Most Beautiful Woman, courtesy of People magazine. The is the ninth time that People has included Beyonce on its "Most Beautiful" lists, though it's not the ninth time she's won the top honor.

Michelle Tan, People’s senior editor, appeared on ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday and called Beyonce a "strong role model" who's had a remarkable year.

The star says that it's her daughter, Blue Ivy, who has upped her beauty quotient, which was already -- let's face it -- pretty much off the charts. "I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth," Beyonce tells the magazine. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Bey reveals that her and Jay-Z's daughter, born January 7, is "just the cutest thing," and swears she "loves" changing diapers, which is a musical activity in the Knowles-Carter household. "I make up songs" for Blue, Beyonce reveals. "They become the ‘change a diaper’ song, the ‘bathing’ song, the ‘go to sleep’ song, the ‘I want to hear you coo’ song,” She loves it. She tries to come in and give her little ad libs.”

As for whether the baby resembles her gorgeous mom, Beyonce says, "She looks like Blue. She's her own person." B adds, "The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word 'love' means something completely different now."

First lady Michelle Obama and Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence are also on People’s Most Beautiful list this year.

Last year, People named American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez its Most Beautiful Woman.﻿

Mathew Imaging/FilmMagic(NEW YORK) -- Ray Romano and his wife have disclosed in the new issue of People magazine that she has overcome a battle with breast cancer.

Romano’s wife of 24 years, Anna Romano, was told in February of 2010, after a doctor discovered a lump in her right breast, that she had “invasive breast cancer.”

Romano, 48, says she underwent four rounds of chemotherapy, which forced her to focus more on herself than on the couple’s four kids. She says, “I take on everybody’s stress, but this had to be all about me.”

Anna adds, “I’m not like that!”

Ray Romano, who has starred on Everybody Loves Raymond and Men of a Certain Age, says they “dodged a bullet” and are now going public with his wife’s cancer battle in order to “help people.”

The alleged cover of the Jan. 7 issue of People, which has surfaced online, features a picture of Lautner with the headline "Out & Proud," along with the statement, “Tired of rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out. 'I’m more liberated, and happier than I’ve ever been.'"

However, a rep for the magazine tells GossipCop.com that the photo is "absolutely fake."

The 36-year-old actor’s blue eyes, alluring smile and all-American appeal would make many woman swoon, but it’s more than just looks that landed The Hangover star the coveted title.

“He’s more than just a good-looking guy,” People senior writer Alexis Chiu said Wednesday on ABC's Good Morning America. “This guy speaks fluent French, he cooks...he rides a motorcycles, went to Georgetown, loves his mommy a lot and still opens the door for women.”

Cooper follows in the footsteps of past “Sexiest” honorees and Hollywood heavyweights such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and, most recently, Ryan Reynolds.

A number of other A-list hunks scored honorable mentions, including fresh faces Liam Hensworth and Chris Evans, musicians Justin Timberlake and Tim McGraw, and actors Josh Duhamel, Taye Diggs and James McAvoy. Jennifer Aniston’s current flame, Justin Theroux, also made the list, as well as Crazy, Stupid, Love star Ryan Gosling.

ABC-TV(LOS ANGELES) -- The current king and queen of reality TV don't have a fairy tale story after all.

One day after Brad Womack proposed to Emily Maynard on the season finale of ABC's The Bachelor, the couple revealed that they've got a long journey ahead before they say "I do."

"Though we are madly in love, it has been a bumpy couple of months for us and our priority right now is to focus on our relationship," Womack and Maynard said in a Tuesday statement to People magazine.

In an interview with featured in the magazine's latest issue, they said their relationship is plagued with problems. Womack, 38, and Maynard, 25, have broken up multiple times.

"It hasn't been a fairy tale," Womack said. "We were facing a lot of adversity."

"There have been numerous times where either she or I have said, 'To hell with it. It's just too difficult,' " he added. "We've thrown in the towel, broken up. But at end of every day I'd call and say, 'I know you might not like me today, but I love you.'"

"We'd break up at night and then in the morning we'd forget about it," Maynard added.

Watching The Bachelor and seeing Womack woo other women made Maynard jealous.

"He had a tendency to say the same thing to a couple girls," she said. "So I felt less and less special. I get that it's a show. But it's still hard. You're not sure what's real and what's reality TV."

In an effort to soothe Maynard's nerves and win her heart while the season played out on TV, Womack mailed her thousands of dollars worth of gifts. (He told People he "went broke sending flowers and shoes.") On The Bachelor, he fought hard to win her heart in ways viewers didn't see.

"No one knows, but I flew her father to South Africa, to the proposal site, from West Virginia," Womack said. "I made it very clear I would not ask her to marry me without his consent. It was off-camera. I looked him in the eye and told him, 'I'm very much in love with your daughter. This isn't for show.'" ﻿
